As cliché as the quote has become, there is so much to learn from "Those who do not learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them." We have a tendency to repeat our actions hoping that somehow the outcome will become different. Often, one hears "I wish we could go back to the way things used to be." However, what is commonly forgotten is that the old way didn't work out for a reason. The old ways brought about the new or current situation that "needs fixing". Often, in addition to the lack of learning, there is an element of denial; something that is overlooked or avoided that is likely to manifest a repeating problem.

Again, I am an advocate of awareness, and bringing awareness within (as much as POSSIBLE) can and will help to prevent a repeat problem from manifesting a potentially negative event in the future.
